Former Wolves striker Frank Nouble says Stale Solbakken’s shift in tone was the reason behind his failure to make the breakthrough at Molineux.

Nouble was signed in 2012 and began pre-season brightly under new boss Solbakken but his Wolves career quickly unravelled leading to him joining Ipswich Town in January after just five appearances in gold and black.

During a feature with The Sun detailing his time with all 17 of his professional clubs, Nouble said of his time at Wolves: “In pre-season I was brilliant. I scored four and I formed a partnership with Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.

“But come the start of the season, the manager Stale Solbakken changed his tone and didn’t play me.

“Mick McCarthy was the initial reason I went to Wolves. He got sacked the season before and Terry Connor took over, so I went anyway.
